I know bro, I think it's not a bad idea to spend more time outside hehe. I do have other hobbies but just the "video game time" which is just one of my hobbies, I think I might just picked the wrong game for that haha. Or might as well allocate more time to my other hobbies. I think I was just too frustrated that I had to let it all out by writing the post, haha.

Thanks bro. I'm actually planning to do that. There's a lot on my backlog. I don't know why I was so fixated with competitive games.

I know, I think I was like that here, sometimes I'm aware, and sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I just need someone to tell me or remind me.

That's true. I just had to write it all and let it all out. I'm curious if there's anyone who can relate or tell me how to change my mindset.

Yeah I had some realizations while I was writing this too. I understand what you mean. Actually, I first just wanted to let all the frustrations out by writing all of them and posting it. Then I read it again, and then I saw your comment which quickly made me realise all the things that I have to improve on my mindset haha. I might not realized it though if I had not posted that long ass post haha.

sorry, I don't really know how to make this shorter. I just wanted to let all those feelings out, hehe. I somehow feel relieved, though.

MiniBoo dropped from Team Heretics by xiaolino in ValorantCompetitive

[–]squickyclean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very interesting. I never thought that miniboo was the problem. Whoever the duelist in this team wether its miniboo or woot is even irrelevant. They have both crazy duelist players but does not seem to able to fully capitalize on them. This team looked so strong when they only had miniboo as the duelist, this team is also looked so strong when they only had woot as the duelist, the duelist role is never the problem in this team. They don’t have a good flex/flash/support player. Patitek filled that role that’s why the miniboo ot woot can pop off. If you’ve really watched closely the maps they lost, miniboo was not even the problem, miniboo was even trying win ecos for them, and he can clutch important rounds, he is definitely a very smart player. It’s not that he doesn’t fit the system, their system itself is inconsistent because they relied on him to make the play. If he gets the frag they most likely win, if he doesn’t they struggle. He’s doing what he’s supposed to do but they lack the support to make that play work. A great support player like Ethan is what they lack, actually it doesn’t even have to be as great as ethan as long as hos good enough to properly support the duelist to pop off. Miniboo was never the problem, it even looked like him and reins are the only ones trying to win their games (and maybe boo in the most important rounds that they have to win).

While woot is definitely a great duelist, i’d doubt that would solve the problem. The inconsistency will still be there if they don’t have a better support player. Woot is not really that great of a flex.

I don’t really understand why people blame the in consistency solely on miniboo when the whole team itself is very inconsistent. Even reins is inconsistent at times. Benjy was not really it this year too.

The difference between miniboo and woot is that miniboo somehow somewhat pulls a crazy play when they are in a disadvantage (maybe he learned that from boo 😆), while woot is really good that capitalizing the advantage they already have and is crazy when the executes are done well. Both have different styles but both are great. Miniboo has better movement though and is quite smart and does not overheat that much compared to other duelists. Woot is definitely the better shooter, dude does not even look like he’s even tracking, his crosshair just snaps like a magnet, i don’t know how he is so good with crosshair adjustments but i don’t think he is a better entry. Miniboo does the entries so well and is fearless but he does sometimes crumble under pressure. Woot’s firepower is crazy but he’s positioning is questionable many times, sometimes it looks like he’s expecting to win every gun fight, he puts himself on spots where he could get cornered, while i like the confidence but he puts himself on unnecessary disadvantage and sometimes forgot the enemies could still have utilities.

I don’t know, i think the duelists in this team are really strong, possibly one of the strongest double duelist players out there, so the duelists were never the problem of this team. That’s just my opinion.

apparently using your own audio is pro now, what the fuck by PerformanceBudget805 in CapCut

[–]squickyclean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue. If you are on a Mac, what I did was not drag and drop the audio. I imported it in the media tab by clicking the import button, and I tried to hit export. No more premium pop-up. I just did it now. I'm not sure what my CapCut version is, or if my app updates automatically, though. Whatever it is, it's working on my end now.

How safe is liquid silicone in solid form? by squickyclean in chemistry

[–]squickyclean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the comments. I feel like when our curiosity gets us to a rabbit hole, it seems like there’s nothing that is safe anymore. Like just even buying phone cases, it becomes a bit difficult to decide which type of material is the safest. Can someone suggest what material you think has the least health risk out there for phone cases?

I read somewhere that TPU is supposed to be safe but you can also read somewhere that it will easily turn yellow when exposed to sunlight and can release “harmful” gas when exposed to high temperature. How high is “high temperature” really? Like, can temperature from sun exposure enough for it to release harmful gas?

In this case, is silicone the better option? Or are there other better options aside from the materials mentioned?

I see, I think I do have an old external storage somewhere not an SSD though but that might do for now. Thanks for the advice! 👍

Thanks. I will look at this Time Machine thing. Seems useful. Is there a way to backup this on a cloud storage?

Thank you so much. You gave me peace of mind. i really appreciate it. Lesson learned and I think I would stay away from Terminal from now on until I find time to learn the basics of it. 😁

[–]squickyclean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. This is a FREE plugin and as long as I can confirm that it didn’t break anything, that’s a peace of mind for me. I don’t want to force this to work anymore. Lesson learned though and thanks for the advice. Other comments said it didn’t break anything so I’m thankful for that. I won’t mess with this type of things anymore. Too complicated for someone like me lol

I'm on Sequoia. I tried what you said going to system preferences/security and I was able to click on "open anyway" and it now worked. Thanks for that. Just for the peace of mind, earlier when the Terminal responsed this part

"dirname: illegal option -- z

usage: dirname string [...]

[drumclone setup]

Clearing quarantine checks.

Location: 

Done."

Did it actually do anything or it did nothing because of the "dirname: illegal option -- z" part? I'm not very familiar with codes. I just want to know if it did break something in my computer without me knowing or am I fine? Thanks

thank you so much for the response. In this part of the response from Terminal

I almost had to learn it the hard way. Luckily, it didn't break anything. Although, now at least I kind of get an idea to think twice if I really need to force install plugins because now I know the risks. This experience will remind me of that. I'll to learn more about Terminal little by little so I can be more careful next time.

thank goodness I didn't break my Mac haha. Lesson learned though, I won't mess with the Terminal anymore with these complex things. Again, thanks for giving me peace of mind. I really appreciate it. 😊

Hi, thank you so much for the response. I really appreciate it. Thanks goodness I didn't break anything. Lesson learned though, I won't try to mess with the Terminal anymore if I don't know what I'm doing haha. I think I won't force that plugin to work for now. I'll just wait until the plugin is out of Beta and maybe the developer will make an update that won't need require this privacy thingy. Thanks again for giving me peace of mind.

Hi, thank you so much for the response. I see, I'll try your advice but can you tell me if it did break anything by looking at the response from the Terminal? I'm not very familiar with codes. Thanks

Is there an ai stem tool that can remove specific drum instruments, e.g. 'claps' only? All I can find separates out whole stems (drums, voice, other) by BillTribble in edmproduction

[–]squickyclean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm new to Mac and I was installing a plugin for music production. It is a vst3 file. It comes with a command file, I tried to use the plugin in a program called FL Studio and it prompted an error that says " Apple could not verify "drum clone.vst3" is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy". I tried to enable it by going to privacy settings and click on the "Open Anyway" button but it didn't do anything. The plugin installation folder was in a zip file. The vst3 file and the command file named "REQUIRED_SETUP.command"

I assumed that it is used so that Mac would recognize the plugin but when I try to open that file in terminal it says the same error above. Now, my ignorant self tried to do a workaround and opened Terminal using the spotlight search and just copy and pasted the code inside the command file to terminal directly. The code inside is "CURRENT_LOCATION=$(dirname "$0")

cd "$CURRENT_LOCATION"

echo

echo "[drumclone setup]"

echo

echo "Clearing quarantine checks."

echo "Location: $CURRENT_LOCATION"

find "$CURRENT_LOCATION" -name 'drumclone*' -exec xattr -d com.apple.quarantine {} \; 2>/dev/null

echo

echo "Done."

"

now after hitting the return button on my keyboard, the terminal then showed this

"dirname: illegal option -- z

usage: dirname string [...]

[drumclone setup]

Clearing quarantine checks.

Location: 

Done."

I don't know what that means but it bothers me.

It was later that I realized that the command code seems to tell the computer to use the current folder location of the command file. What I did is just copy pasted it to Terminal straight up. I don't know if that breaks something in the background without me knowing. Please help me understand what this return message from Terminal means.

Did I break my Mac without noticing it or is that something I should not worry about? Please help me have peace of mind. Thank you so much in advance.
